Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki is about an aristocrat, Thakur Rajnath Singh Chouhan, who is in love with his mistress Tulsi but forced to marry a strong aristocratic woman named Sanjukta. Tulsi sacrifices her life, some time after giving birth to Rajnath's son Ajay, because she wants Sanjukta to have her husband all to herself. Rajnath and Sanjukta send Ajay to boarding school to prevent him from bearing the stigma of being an illegitimate child. Sanjukta and Rajnath have a son, Pratap. Rajnath dies in a horse-riding accident. Sanjukta makes regular visits to the boarding school to see Ajay and, when he grows up, she brings him home. Ajay meets Naini and falls in love with her after a few misadventures. Sanjukta makes Ajay not only a very important man but also shields him every time and finally confesses before the public that Ajay is her husband's first son and therefore, is entitled to respect. However, her own son Pratap feels slighted and becomes wayward. Some people around them also try to further damage the relations between the two brothers. However, for every sin of the younger brother, Ajay protects him and takes the blame. Sanjukta, not knowing the actual situation, gets disturbed. Pratap seduces Geeta and gets her pregnant and blames Ajay in front of her father, Rana. At one stage, she blames Ajay for every wrong thing which has actually been done by her own son. Ajay leaves the house. But soon thereafter, the situation changes as Rana, standing in support of Pratap, feels deceived as he lets him down by refusing to accept his daughter. In the climax, these men try to kill Pratap in a polo match, but Ajay, who learns of this plan, rescues his brother. Then, Pratap realizes his half-brother's kindness. He surrenders to Ajay and accepts him as his elder brother. The family reunites.
The music is composed byLaxmikant-Pyarelal and lyrics are byAnand Bakshi.
